Cydia Mobile Subtrate Update

[ssemmel]

I booted up Cydia and there was an update to the Mobile Subtrate that showed up on my ipad 2 so I updated it... Now I can't get into anything, even safe mode. Anyone else have this issue. I am trying to even get to safari to re-jailbreak it and can't get to that. Anyone know how to get to safe mode?

I've moved this to the Hacking section, where I think it will receive better attention.

I have the same problem. My iPad now looks like a giant iPhone (no landscape view), but I cannot open anything. It crashes after I open an App.
What did mobile substrate do to my iPad?!

I am getting frustrated, rebooting doesn't help.
Maybe I can solve it by using SSH?

Exactly my looks like a giant iphone. I can't get into anything. I think i have to upgrade to 5 then down grade to 4.3.3 and re-jailbreak. The only app I initally could get into was settings but now I can't even get into that.

I have no wifi so I can't SSH....

 

[RudyL90]

You don't need wifi for SSH, do you? I just use the cable...
Anyways,... what I'd delete mobile substrate. What happens than?

 

[ssemmel]

for SSH you have to put in an ip address... isn't that wifi? That is what i was going to do. The instruction I found said to remove the mobile substrate... I figured it can't mess it up worse... At this point I can't do anything....

 

[RudyL90]

You can find the IP address of the iPad by looking at the settings of your router.. Don't really know how to do that... But I am sure you can find it!
OK I am going to delete it, once I found the location of MobileSubstrate.

 

[ssemmel]

Let me know if that works. I will try it when I get home...

 

[RudyL90]

Sure.
Meanwhile I hope someone here gives me a the solution.

 

[ssemmel]

I hope so. I have not done the update on my iphone yet......

 

[RudyL90]

Deleted MobileSubstrate out of frustration.... And now my iPad 2 doesn't boot anymore!
Hihi

 

[RudyL90]

OK. Only option is to restore now.
iOS 5 here I come!!!

 

[ssemmel]

Bummer. I can't believe more people don't have this problem. There is no way I am doing this to my phone....

 

[RudyL90]

I think you should wait, there must be another way besides restoring!
